Nancy Pelosi To Maddow: Without Passing Healthcare We May Have Lost More Seats
by Matt Schneider | 1:20 pm, January 19th, 2011
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi appeared on MSNBC last night with Rachel Maddow and vigorously defended the healthcare reform bill that Republicans are intent on repealing. Also when asked, Pelosi agreed that any Republicans in Congress advocating repeal should in fact reject their own government provided health insurance.
When Maddow pressed Pelosi about her defensive strategy against Republicans, Pelosi insisted that making the case to Americans that the reform bill has many benefits and Republicans are trying to sabotage them should work. Maddow smartly questioned whether the effort to sort of take a second stab at selling the virtues of the bill to the public, does that reflect a failure to have done that effectively during the initial debate? Pelosi said Democrats in the House did not fail in any way, implying that Democrats elsewhere may have dropped that ball.
Maddow and Pelosi agreed that much opposition to the bill actually reflects people who feel the bill didnt go far enough without having a public option. Yet regardless, Pelosi does not feel this past election was about healthcare reform and instead was about jobs, since its hard to talk about health reform if people dont have jobs. Pelosi also declared if we had not past healthcare reform we may have lost more seats for being ineffective.

Apparently you can get a prescription for lots and lots of medical marijuana for face lifts in California.

Talk about the delusional having access to weapons, it’s much more dangerous to far more people when the delusional have access to legislative power.

It’s not just her though. How about all the rest of the Democrats who stand by her and voted her minority leader.
Man, we are in trouble.
